Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 large firm-ripe peaches, cut into 1/4-inch slices, or 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen peaches, (about 4 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar and orange juice in a small bowl and set aside. When the chicken is browned, transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, the soy sauce mixture, and the peaches to the pan. Turn the heat up to high and cook, uncovered, for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is nicely thickened and the peaches soften. Add the chicken back to the pan with the sauce, turn the heat down to moderate-low, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

In the meantime, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over a medium-high heat stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and sprinkled with the toasted almonds.

Yield: 4 serving, 1 piece chicken, 2/3 cup sauce and 1/2 tablespoon almonds per serving

good even with canned peaches!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

i was a little worried about making this recipe because I used canned peaches, but it still came out delish! i also didnt... have the vinegar, so I just ommitted it. i think my changes caused it to be a little sweeter than it was meant to be, but I just added a little salt in the end to bring out the more savory flavors and it ended up great!Read more

Just Adjust Your Cooking Time!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was so great! Based on others reviews, I actually used only about 3/4 of the amount of peaches so it wouldn't be... overly sweet. As my husband and I also love to mix sweet with spicy, I also added crushed red pepper to the chicken before pan frying the first time. There was one reviewer saying his partner was going microwave the chicken to eat it the next day, but all I'll say to that, is to adjust your cooking times to reflect the size of your chicken! I pan fried the first time for about 3 1/2 minutes each side and later, when I added the chicken, I cooked it uncovered on each side on medium heat for another couple of minutes before turning down the heat, covering and simmering - and still, they were probably on for 10-15 more minutes.... I then took the breasts off again, turned up the heat on the sauce to get it to thicken... then put the chicken back one more time to make sure they were sizzling hot before serving. I was certainly weary about changing the cooking times, but my chicken remained moist and was very flavorful. I will definitely make this again - but allot for more time! ( We didn't eat until 10 o'clock due to the adjustments!) Also, I paired with stir fried broccoli and water chestnuts with a spicy thai noodle dish. Read more
